my ramblings on life, work & anything left in-between

It’s an iPhone but not as you know it?!

After all the speculation about the arrival of an iPhone it’s finally “appeared”…. but not from Apple! It’s from LinkSys (Cisco)

Actually I’m glad because I think if Apple did produce a product called the “iPhone” it would diminish the iPod brand name. So to me this doesn’t make good marketing sense (not that I’m an expert in marketing!).

I’m all for the iPod having phone capabilities and so should be a future optional feature. But first I would prefer the iPod to have better PDA functionality and bigger screen for better video playback.

PS. How did everyone miss the fact that the iPhone trademark was held by Cisco! Very strange? However perhaps this won’t stop Apple anyway!?

About…..

My name is Barry Walsh. I'm a freelance IT consultant from London, UK. [more]

This blog is mostly about Perl programming because this is what I use and love (and occasionally hate!) for the majority of my working (and sometimes non-working) day.

Occasionally I will touch on other subjects like PostgreSQL, Mac OSX, UNIX, Linux, Ruby, jQuery, Javascript, XML and many more techie things that I also play with regularly. Other non techie aspects of my life may slip in now and again but I'll try and keep that to a minimum because its normally boring anyway :)
